By now, you know I have a real soft spot for Canada! It’s one of my favourite countries to visit with the most incredible cities like; Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary (to name a few). That being said, the real draw for me is the great outdoors, especially with all the best places in the Canadian … Continue Reading
One our first morning in Edmonton (we arrived the evening before), I somehow managed to escape the jetlag entirely and woke up thoroughly refreshed and very eager to explore the city! We pretty much rushed downtown as early as possible for a group breakfast with new and old(er) friends at the rather delightful District Café. … Continue Reading
Vancouver is a delicious city, and I say that literally! There are so many mouth-watering places to eat, so many places to explore and a shed load of the best bakeries in Vancouver to chow-down at. Now, there’s one thing that I always pride myself on and that’s knowing my puddings, pastries and pain au chocolat! … Continue Reading
Look, there’s no hiding the fact that my love for Canada runs deep; so much so that I swear my veins run with maple syrup! Obviously, I’ve got a proper soft-spot for cities like; Vancouver and Toronto, but there’s so much more to Canada than just the cities. Being the second-largest country in the world, … Continue Reading
As you know, we’ve got a firm and very deep love of all things Canadian! Beyond the delicious Poutine in beautiful Quebec and the best places spots to see in Vancouver, there’s one thing that keeps drawing us back; the great outdoors! This is especially true when it comes to British Columbia, with its vast … Continue Reading
I’d never really been a fan of autumn. It just always reminded me that the glorious sunny days of summer were over and the cold, dark (and mostly wet) days of winter were on their way. I feel like the first half of autumn was spent missing summer and the latter half preparing for winter … Continue Reading
Quebec City is not only steeped in history, but it’s also beautiful and a great city to visit when exploring the province of Quebec’s epic spots. In fact, I’d go as far as saying that there are so many stunning things to see and the best things to do in Quebec City that you’re going … Continue Reading
In retrospect, we really should have visited Edmonton a lot sooner. Lloyd has a friend who lives in the city and my cousin (like the ones you spend your childhood rolling in the mud with – not the kind you’re surprised to find out is actually your cousin), lives in Edmonton. Yet for some reason, … Continue Reading
There’s a whole heap of amazing things to do in Vancouver. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for a little slice of culture, cake or the most incredible natural landscapes, the city has been bestowed with an epic amount of things to do and see when visiting this region. I mean, it shouldn’t come as … Continue Reading
Whenever I’ve visited Vancouver, I’ve always landed in Richmond but swiftly bypassed the city to hop right into the centre of Vancouver via the Skytrain. I’d thought nothing of staying in the area (shame on me, I know). That was until I heard some tidbits of information about a dumpling trail that’s perched right next … Continue Reading
There’s a part of Canada we’d never fully gotten to explore in the past and ironically, that part is one of the bits that’s actually closest to the UK. Said part is, broadly speaking, Atlantic Canada – the bits on the East Coast of Canada which, ironically, are the parts of Canada that are closest … Continue Reading
The next morning, after a day exploring and subsequently falling in love with Quebec (as well as developing a bit of a crush for autumn with its beautiful fall foliage), we packed up and headed out to explore even more of the province of Quebec, beyond its beautiful capital city. Our main destination for the … Continue Reading
The city of Halifax is gorgeous to visit; and in lots of ways is the gateway to exploring Nova Scotia’s beautiful places. That being said, it’s also got a charm and history that’s totally worth spending a few days exploring. This is especially true with all the best things to do in Halifax that are … Continue Reading
